OP is a militant atheist that's why. He twists everything because of this. Had he any knowledge of the true teaching of the Church, he'd know that the God of Abraham (who is Trinity/Yahweh and not the god of judaism who is Satan/Lucifer) is the reason we don't have human sacrifices in Christian society.
At the time of Abraham people used to sacrifice their children to the pagan gods (like Baal, Molloch, Remphan/Saturn). Prior to the covenant Abraham was a pagan himself and likely participated in such rituals. God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son to test his loyalty but provided him with an animal sacrifice in place of his son* which taught Abraham that He wasn't like the other deities and didn't require human sacrifice. This is God's covenant with Abraham.
*This is foreshadowing God sacrificing His own Son for us - He does what He didn't ask from Abraham proving that His love and self-sacrifice far exceeds ours.
Very good, Winston. It's essential to know why Abraham trusting God was so different from all the folks around who trusted their own righteous works to be satisfactory to their gods. I do suggest a bit of language tweak, in that lucifer (translation of helel) is more the god of Judaizing than of Judaism as we define those words today, and is a title for satan; and Remphan (probably Rephaim) and Saturn (Chiun) came much later than Abraham, in whose time baal and moloch were still relatively generic titles for several gods. So it's pretty twisty. Some Jews are willing to say their god is in fact named Yahweh, and if they have the guts to say that then Yahweh will hold them to their confession for good or ill. Some Jews and some others are so unwilling to describe their god that they may as well be offering to Dagon, who was one of the oldest and most clearly distinguished Canaanite deities among the baalim.
